That scene where Yicheng slaps Chenggang... WOW THAT WAS SATISFYING! I replayed that at least five times, it was so good! 😂

Just completed Ep 25, 26, and 27. Wang Yiding seems to have changed after that accident. Both of them will have to sit down and talk about the way they're going to raise XuanXuan. Other than that, I don't think he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. I don't condone his behavior in any way, but I definitely don't think it's grounds for divorce.

Sanli's MIL said this: "He doesn't want to know."
I think he's been trying all his life to please his mom because he wants to be accepted. He sees himself as inferior, always second to the real son. It's obviously stressing him out to keep hearing her say bad things about Sanli and treat her like garbage. He could always endure everything else because he's used to letting his mom have her way and enduring whatever hardships he had to face alone. But now he has Sanli and he does love her. And he knows his MIL is wrong and this time she's affecting someone other than him, someone he cares about. He doesn't know how to handle it. He keeps trying to find ways to make a compromise between his wife and mom, but obviously, no one will be satisfied with that. He even considered divorcing Sanli so she could be free of her MIL troubles. That wouldn't have been an easy thing to decide.

Every couple fights, and this is what he and Sanli have to overcome. That temper seemed very unlike him. But I won't say he can't change or is a bad person.

On a different note, YICHENG'S HAPPINESS IS HERE!! I love his relationship with Nanfang. They're adorable together. Song Qingyuan is just amazing 😂 I love him so much for doing all he's doing.

And I don't want to talk about Chenggang and Simei. All I will say is: Yicheng slapping him was one of the most satisfying scenes ever. I jumped in my chair, but I was so happy. He's such a good Big Brother.

I think I've finally grown up. I'm going to stop judging the characters so harshly. I think I've gotten used to exaggerated, unrealistic dramas, and that's why I felt like throwing a character out as soon as he/she made a mistake.
This drama shows you that every family has their own problems. Yes, you have to carefully choose your partners, but you will never know them fully, no matter how many years you spend dating them. Marriage is a whole different ball game. And we're all human, with our own flaws and weaknesses. I think I expected perfection out of every character, and that's why I was disappointed. It's not the problems that should take center stage, but the way the family manages them. I love the way they band together whenever there's a problem. Yicheng loves them in his own tough-love way, and his siblings know it.

Finished Episode 27 and I think MIL is going to change! :) I loved the way that scene was written... Sanli and the MIL's actor acted so well!

yeah, I'm slowly starting to adjust to the very raw portrayal of life :)

After Yicheng's friend, Yiding is still my favorite male character. I also noticed how I feel genuine love only between Sanli and Yiding. I saw him reciprocating.
Yiding waited for Sanli everyday, he quietly made sure she reached home safely, he made an effort to be there for her family. I didn't see any of the siblings' other partners do so much.

Erqiang has started to be a little romantic with his Master.

"Guys don't woo their ladies" How many of those ladies gave them a chance to? Qiqi and Yicheng were basically jumped by their exes. The ladies strung them along and these guys suddenly developed feelings for them. Yicheng, Erqiang and Qiqi's relationships were all weird. There was no real love, no actual happy conversations, no enjoying each other's company like best friends.

In Yicheng's defense, he DID try to stop her. He never stopped stopping her, so she did things on her own. He yelled at her, he tried reasoning with her, he stopped talking to her for a while... what else can he do?
Sanli also warned Simei multiple times. Even now, she doesn't speak anything good about Chenggang. They all warned her. But she refused to leave the fantasies and dream world she'd created for herself. She's blindly stubborn... she didn't listen to anyone. The news of her getting married was a shock to the family.

I'm complaining about the CONSTANT mess. IK it's a family drama and I'm ready for all the sadness they throw at me but like 95% of it is depressing while we get only a few short, scattered happy scenes. They just never get a break.

I will really smash my head through a wall sometime soon -_-

Watched Ep23 and even I have no idea why he was so angry. I understood that Chenggang was fired from the military for misconduct because he caused an accident, but I didn't understand why YC threatens him with "If you do it again".... wHAT did he do??!

yes... and now we also know that the baby is Qiqi's and Qiqi is gonna raise her himself

Why does everyone think down-to-earth/realistic equals sadness? Sure, there's sadness. But there IS also happiness in everyday life. We humans cry and go through pain, but we also live, laugh and love. They always make the happy scenes so short or interrupt them while the sad scenes take AGES to get over with... a smile on the face of a character is so rare to see! And forget about a laugh -_-

I LOVE Yicheng's friend! I seriously want him as a son-in-law but both girls are taken 😂 I'm sure he set Yicheng up with that childhood friend of his 😂 At last, I see a light at the end of Yicheng's long, dark tunnel.

I also think giving the child to the cousin is the right thing to do but it doesn't look like that'll happen

oh my heart bleeds for Qiqi :( I wonder how he's gonna raise his daughter...
And I'm ready to kill Chenggang anytime if he doesn't treat her well. I know Simei set herself up but her courage, innocence and tenacity just make me love her.

Just got done with Ep 23 and 24... I got SO ANGRY with Xiaomo WOW my blood was boiling! Three divorces in two episodes. But I'm actually feeling good about it. What is wrong with these unrepentant, I-want-to-be-happy-and-treated-well-with-zero-responsibilities-or-respect-for-other-people's-feelings women??!! I hate both Yicheng and Qiqi's ex-wives' stupid, insolent smiles so much! I am so glad Qiqi at least took a stand when it came to keeping his daughter. I want him to be happy and smile freely for once! I felt so good when he finally showed some anger and got his way. Even though I hate his MIL, I'm glad she took his side instead of her daughter's.

I can’t feel any anger towards Yicheng because, honestly, he’s going through non-stop hell. He keeps having to move from one sibling to another, trying to be there for them or fix their problems. He’s the only one who blatantly talks back to dad… and dad is scared of only him. I know he’s hurting watching his siblings’ babies and suddenly getting a divorce by EMAIL, for goodness’ sake. Breaking up by text is bad as it is, sending a DIVORCE by email and still having the audacity to say “Don’t forget me” is pure evil. 😡
I literally started screaming with joy and partying in my head when Xiang walked into the room. I will forever be indebted to Yicheng’s friend. He is AMAZING. What a wonderful friend.

When I watch Simei's tenacity, loyalty and courage, I can't help but hope for her complete happiness. I really really hope Chenggang is a good guy and that Simei's pregnancy will go well. The end credits preview is scaring me. I don't want to see Simei cry.

I don't think putting the blame on Sanli for bringing the dad is correct. I think she just brought him to her wedding hall. He would obviously come back home even without Sanli. Where else would he freeload, beg for money from his hardworking kids and waste time other than in his own house?

Sanli-Yiding... they're my favorites no matter what. I'm glad they still love each other. Except for being a pushover with his mom, Yiding is perfect. I love how he knows how to make Sanli laugh, she's so bright and happy when he plays around with her. And I love how he always looks for her first, before his mom or son. I wanted to strangle the dad when he walked in and interrupted that little time where they were laughing together. 😡 But of course our meanie writers won't let us have happiness for very long. It's like they can't stop inventing new nonsense to put my poor babies through. My heart literally DROPPED when I heard about Yiding’s accident. Poor Sanli was so broken and I love how the entire family grouped together and took care of him. Of course MIL and BIL did nothing whatsoever. 🙄

Also, why was there no clarification of Erqiang's relationship? We just see happy Master Ma help with Yiding in the hospital 🤔 Are we supposed to assume they're married now?

I FEEL LIKE A PROUD GRANDMA! Sanli and her son are okay 🥰🥰 But I really want to hug Yicheng... it must hurt to see two of his siblings with children :(

Qiqi's wife doesn't seem to care at all for the child so I wonder what will happen. I'm glad both babies are healthy.

I'm focusing on the good parts, and I wish all happiness for Simei no matter what. I want to see what Master Ma has to say about this marrying business. So far it's just Erqiang who keeps expressing his love.

You're not behind... Either these people are not watching on Viki or they understand Chinese. Because I feel like I'm stepping into a spoiler minefield when I come here 😂 I don't know which spoilers aren't spoilers for me because I've finished the episode and which ARE real spoilers.

I'm watching a light drama on the side {Police University} to counter it because this drama EXHAUSTS me sometimes

whattttttt 😑 WHAT have I subjected myself to?? Hopefully the producers will be merciful. Can't even rely on kdrama writer mercy because this is a cdrama.

You're probably right about Yiding :( I'm hoping for some character development there...
But right now I am so worried about Sanli and Chenggang 😭😭 He's shown concern for her only ONCE in all the time we've seen him. And that once is counting him saying "Be careful" when she trips 🙄 I really really want this to work but -_-

AND I'm fuming over that witch Xiaomo.... and for the first time in the whole drama I'm scared of Weiming 😳 He was ANGRY
